What is a Per Diem Ob Tech?

Their duties often include preparing delivery rooms, sterilizing equipment, assisting with patient care during childbirth, and supporting the medical team with various tasks. 'Per diem' means they work flexible, non-regular hours, filling in as required rather than on a fixed schedule. This role is essential for ensuring smooth operations in busy maternity wards, especially during staff shortages or high patient volumes.
